Kerry knocks president's 9/11 behavior
On another topic, Kerry said he would have reacted much more quickly than President Bush did on Sept. 11, 2001, when he learned of terrorist attacks.
The president spent seven minutes reading to Florida elementary school children after learning that hijacked planes had been flown into the World Trade Center in New York.
“Had I been reading to children and had my top aide whisper in my ear that America is under attack, I would have told those kids very nicely and politely that the president of the United States has something that he needs to attend to,” Kerry said.
And in those seven minutes, Kerry would have altered the course of human history. What a non-issue.
This "doesn't make it so" thing is really starting to get annoying too. Maybe that's a positive for Kerry supporters if it annoys me so much. It's just a fancy way of saying "Bush lied".
“Just saying that you’ve turned a corner doesn’t make it so. Just like saying there are weapons of mass destruction (in Iraq) doesn’t make it so. Just like saying you can fight a war on the cheap doesn’t make it so. Just like saying ’mission accomplished’ doesn’t make it so,” Kerry said.

You're right, the seven minutes is pretty much a non-issue.
But the 'doesn't make it so' comment is absolutely appropriate for the Bush administration, who have perfected spin control and political rhetoric to a fine art. The phrase should be repeated over and over by the Kerry campaign until Election Day. Pointing out every manipulation of the truth that the Bush administration has exercised is one of Kerry's best selling points and shouldn't be neglected.
